Starting your first 'real' job outside of education can be daunting, but according to our new Associate Consultant, Helena, who joined Curve last month, it’s been a fantastic experience. Helena shares that the strong support system at Curve has made all the difference.   From day one, Helena was paired with a buddy to answer questions and provide support. She says, “Being paired with a buddy right from the start made me feel welcomed and supported. The various training sessions in the office have been incredibly helpful in building my practical skills and getting to know the team. But it’s not just the structured sessions—I’ve found that my day-to-day interactions and learning from my colleagues have significantly contributed to my growth.”   Being in the office most days has allowed Helena to absorb a wealth of knowledge just by being around and learning from the team. Helena shares, “A key reason I chose this role was the chance to work closely with the team. Being in the office most days has made it really easy to get quick answers and advice whenever I need it. This supportive environment has been especially helpful in my first job, and it’s a huge difference from working remotely. It’s been incredibly valuable for my growth.”.   Helena adds that the learning and growth extends beyond just the office environment. She has also enjoyed the summer social event, chatty lunches, and short walks with the team, which have all contributed to her feeling quickly integrated. She’s excited about the continuous learning opportunities and the personal development Curve supports. We’re thrilled to hear about Helena’s positive experience and look forward to seeing her continued growth with us!   Learn more about careers with Curve here: https://lnkd.in/dTNp6x9

Last week, the Curve team paddled our way through the challenge of canoeing and kayaking at the Olympic Park in Hackney Wick 🛶 It was a great opportunity to get out of the office and into the sunshine, working together in a new setting. We even managed to all stay afloat (this year)!

“There’s always someone to learn from, and as a group we are always challenging each other to improve.” We recently sat down with Joseph, one of our Senior Technical Consultants, to ask him what his favourite parts of working at Curve are. “At Curve, we work within a wide variety of business areas which bring with them a diverse set of challenges and priorities. We are always encouraged to use creativity to bring about innovative solutions for our clients. Not only do we have a fantastic working environment that fosters collaboration, but our office is also in a great location, just a few minutes from Covent Garden, with so many places to visit and explore. Most importantly, our diverse team brings with them so many different backgrounds, areas of expertise and perspectives. There’s always someone to learn from, and as a group we are always challenging each other to improve.” Interested in working at a company like Curve?

💭 What is digital consumer research, and why is it powerful?   Just as all methods and processes evolve over time, so too must the way we conduct consumer research. To truly understand the modern consumer we must study them where they are today - online! That's where digital research comes in.   Our Head of Growth, Emily, discusses the power of digital research in allowing us to study consumer behaviour and preferences “in the wild”.   “Digital research means leveraging the huge digital footprint consumers leave online. It means unlocking consumer and category understanding by tapping into what people are searching in search engines online, what people are posting and engaging with on social media platforms, what people are writing in product reviews, how they move across different websites and webpages… and the list goes on.”   In short, Digital Research provides us with "the perfect quali-quant blend. An ability to understand consumers at scale, without leading questions.” Rather than asking questions, we listen.    Uncover more about the benefits of digital, and how complementing digital and traditional research could supercharge your strategy: https://lnkd.in/eVcSrVKN
